Its all the drama surrounding it now, the transfer rule, and the lack of school pride involved. This is hard to believe but its becoming more commercialized. Just look at what they are doing to Neyland in TN.

You seem excited. So excited that you can't spell your head coach's name correctly.

Imagine being from Arkansas and getting onto someone for misspelling a name. Atleast "Layne" is the correct alternative spelling to Lane. You guys squeal like pigs, lol.

College football as we knew it is dead. The players are becoming, more and more, hired hands with little to no lasting connection to the school. It remains to be seen if what is taking its place has long term lasting appeal to the students and alumni of the school. In the long term, I believe the current model will squeeze out smaller schools from participating and most other sports offerings at all schools as the revenue streams are directed toward salaries for football players.

I wonder about the long term model where donors are expected to pay million dollar salaries with no monetary return. At least in the NFL, there is at least a chance of monetary return and the rising value of the franchise for the owner. Maybe ego and bragging rights will be enough for the big money alums.
